Technical debt doesn't arrive in staff cuts meaning everything turns off. It arrives as one person trying to automate 10 people's jobs and maintaining a behemoth by the skin of their teeth, for a little while.

But those 10 employees were productive engineers, and you can't innovate under resourced

AI gives a superficial appearance of ongoing productivity, but remaining staff are stretched thin, key specialist skillsets go missing because no-one knows what this or that person actually did and consequently noone even knows what to prompt an LLM to replace it.

They keep saying shit like this but after string of layoffs one after another in the tech industry, many businesses are effectively crumbling from the inside out.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I don't want to hear another thing about "we are on the precipice of fascism" because we went over that edge and into the abyss when government agents started grabbing people off the streets and putting them in camps for being brown.

We still have people saying "this is not America."
Yes it is!

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate.

Elected Democrats just pretend it isn't happening.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

I don't actually have to have violently abusive, horrible people in my life, just because of an accident of birth. They have caused me enough suffering – thanks. Anyone trying to shame me for that can get in the sun.
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.
